the romney campaign didn't see it was coming. i talked to a lot of people who said they weren't just cautiously optimistic, they were optimistic. when they found out they lost someone said it was like a death in the family. how did they get it wrong in ohio is what to look at. the question is more about african americans. they didn't think he would have the turnout he did. they just missed it. when people would raise the questions saying all the public polls suggested the president doing pretty well, the senior staff would say-- they would just dismiss those polls and say these polls are sampling democrats too heavily. that's just not the way this election is going to turn out. they just-- they just missed it. they also though-- there were two other things in ohio. if you look at the counties where romney did well relative to george bush in 200newshour. he did well in the coal county. where did he do poorly? the auto countys. you see it in the turnout. and then, i think, finally, the obama campaign was effective in turning romney

it's harder for governor romney. but it's close enough that i think many of us are going to wait and see what-- how the vote counting goes. >> schieffer: anthony, you do all this work for cbs news. you're in charge of our poll and all of that. how do you see this thing breaking down? what do you, the closest of the battleground states are right now? >> certainly, certainly virginia is neck and neck. that's a toss-up. i think colorado is razor close. i think wisconsin is really close walz. you know, we talk a lot about ohio. it's obviously critical. but let's not forget somebody has to take two or three, i think, of those, also, to get over the top. you know, stewart said something interesting, too, that i want to pick up on about these polls-- because all of this is about those state polls. so much of the argument this year has been about the composition of the polls, which means the composition of the electorate. there are too many older folks, too many young, too many democrates, too many republicans. but i think t

there were, what, 57 million people who voted for romney. and there is a way that obama can kind of step forward and say, "these are the ideas. this is the method we're going to do this." he can-- i mean, you know, you talk to this man-- i mean, you don't get to talk to the people you write about. i get to talk to obama and say, "why did you do this? what happened here?" and he has good answers. he equips himself very well, and he needs to say, this is the theory of the case. this is how we're going to work this out. and the capacity and the good will with there. >> he said-- he's-- his best speech ever, i thought, was when he gave his race speech in 2008. he did that without the help of a lot of political consultants. my memory of this is they were mostly against him giving the speech. they said, "oh, my gosh. you can't mention race." he did this on his own. he needs to get away from the consultants who told him what to do this time and around talk about the hard stuff we have to do, which consultants don't like to do. political people are

but most of the shift after the first debate allowed governor romney to reclaim what he had lost after their convention, which wasn't very successful, and the 47% tape that became so well known across the country and was a negative for him. a lot of those republican-leaning independents who had moved away from him came back, so it was less about our losing ground and him gain anything it restored the race to the one we had before the conventions and the one we always anticipated, where we were narrowly ahead. we never relink wished that lead in our data, and obviously, looking state by state, we were pretty confident. what is remarkable about this race, bob, isn't the volatility of it. , or wasn't the volatility of it. there was this illusion of volatility that was created by the spate of public polls, many of which varied, even on the very same day. but in our own data, it was a very steady race. we maintained a strong-- a narrow lead but a consistent lead, really for months and months and months. and it didn't fluctuate by much. >> schieffer: we saw something when the president came
